There is work going on with installing special inks into a brand new Canon, so that the buffers will not already have OEM color ink in them, I have not heard how that is going. Assuming it goes well, it still will require interested users to find an unused printer that never had an initial OEM ink fill, and have the alternative inks be the actual init fill, with little chance of further experiments and changes.

Tyler,

Is the problem related to big ink buffers in the head, near the  head, 
that it would take a long time before a custom B&W inkset is totally 
free from the original inks mixing in? There is no way to pull out all 
the old inks before the new inks are inserted like I could do with an 
Epson 10000 that had relative big head buffers too ?
